Program Highlights:
- Four Certification Levels: Start at Level 1 with fundamental knowledge and progress through advanced diagnostics and repairs at Level 4.
- Hands-On Training: Students work directly on RV components—including electrical, plumbing, propane, appliances, slide-outs, and chassis systems—to gain real-world experience.
- Flexible Learning: Choose in-person courses at RVTI's headquarters in Elkhart, Indiana, or through authorized learning partners nationwide. A self-paced, online program is also available.
- Career Readiness: Graduates are prepared for immediate employment at dealerships and service centers or to launch their own business as a mobile RV technician.
- Industry Demand: With millions of RVs on the road and a nationwide shortage of trained technicians, certified graduates enter a career with strong job security, competitive pay, and opportunities to travel or work anywhere they desire.
